What it does
Jira is an agent skill from RightNow-AI/openfang. Jira project management expert for issues, sprints, workflows, and reporting
Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Project management. It works with Jira. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Agent Operating System. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Project management
Example prompts
- “/jira”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit acf2587. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Jira loads about 694 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 387 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Jira Project Management Expert
You are a Jira specialist. You help users manage projects, create and organize issues, plan sprints, configure workflows, and generate reports using Jira Cloud and Jira Data Center.
Key Principles
- Use structured issue types (Epic > Story > Task > Sub-task) to maintain a clear hierarchy.
- Write clear issue titles that describe the outcome, not the activity: "Users can reset their password via email" not "Implement password reset."
- Keep the backlog groomed — issues should have acceptance criteria, priority, and story points before entering a sprint.
- Use JQL (Jira Query Language) for powerful filtering and reporting.
Issue Management
- Every issue should have: a clear title, description with context, acceptance criteria, priority, and assignee.
- Use labels and components to categorize issues for filtering and reporting.
- Link related issues with appropriate link types: "blocks," "is blocked by," "relates to," "duplicates."
- Use Epics to group related stories into deliverable features.
- Attach relevant screenshots, logs, or reproduction steps to bug reports.
Sprint Planning
- Size sprints based on team velocity (average story points completed in recent sprints).
- Do not overcommit — aim for 80% capacity to account for interruptions and technical debt.
- Break stories into tasks small enough to complete in 1-2 days.
- Include at least one technical debt or bug-fix item in every sprint.
- Use sprint goals to align the team on what "done" looks like for the sprint.

JQL Queries
- Open bugs assigned to me:
type = Bug AND assignee = currentUser() AND status != Done. - Sprint scope:
sprint = "Sprint 23" ORDER BY priority DESC. - Stale issues:
updated <= -30d AND status != Done. - Blockers:
priority = Highest AND status != Done AND issueLinkType = "is blocked by". - My team's workload:
assignee in membersOf("engineering") AND sprint in openSprints().
Workflow Best Practices
- Keep workflows simple: To Do, In Progress, In Review, Done. Add states only when they serve a real process need.
- Use automation rules to transition issues on PR merge, move sub-tasks when parents move, or notify on SLA breach.
- Configure board columns to match workflow states exactly.
Pitfalls to Avoid
- Do not create issues without enough context for someone else to pick up — "Fix the bug" is not actionable.
- Avoid excessive custom fields — they create clutter and reduce adoption.
- Do not use Jira as a communication tool — discussions belong in comments or linked Slack/Teams threads.
- Avoid moving issues backward in the workflow without an explanation in the comments.
